Alice Newcomb-Doyle (718) 951-5882 Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn College will host the conference Student Life in the New Millennium: Meeting the Challenge at the college's Student Center on Wednesday, April 14, 1999, from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The conference for students, faculty, staff, and community members will offer workshops on such topics as community service and internships, social justice, faculty and staff diversity, and academia and publications, as well as a "fireside chat" with administrators on a variety of subjects.

Participants in the symposium include keynote speaker Dr. Gerald Horne, an author and professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His most recent book is Fire This Time: The Watts Uprising and the 1960s. Dr. Horne is also a Fulbright Scholar and director of the Institute of African-American Research at the university.

"Our purpose is to encourage students from all backgrounds to voice their concerns and hopes about campus life in the next century," said Milga Morales, acting dean for student life at Brooklyn College. "Those who attend will leave with a better understanding of those issues that will influence not only their academic careers but their future in general."
